Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 38m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 45m per day | ▼ 31% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 6m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 2h 29m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 5m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 18m per day | ▼ 18% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited during complaint investigations. Prior inspections showed a mixed record, with a significant number of deficiencies identified in early 2025, particularly related to failure to implement resident care plans, improper transfer techniques causing injury, inadequate activities of daily living (ADL) care, environmental cleanliness, infection control, and medication management. A substantiated complaint in March 2025 found the facility failed to follow a resident’s care plan during transfers, resulting in a fracture, but follow-up inspections in April 2025 confirmed corrective actions were implemented and compliance was restored. Several complaint investigations over the past years were unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The trend suggests improvement since early 2025, with recent inspections showing no deficiencies and effective correction of prior issues.
